Starting Sunday, May 29, the Big Walk series will air on BBC Radio Ulster and BBC Sounds at 6.30pm. Presenters Declan Harvey and Lynette Fay launch the series with a leisurely wander around Florence Court in County Fermanagh, meeting locals and sharing stories along the way.
“We’re delighted to be getting out and about and meeting everyone again after the past couple of years,” said Declan Harvey. “Most of us are now more appreciative of the beautiful scenery on our doorstep, so we’d like to come along and explore it with you.”
